I'm just curious as to what people think about this topic -- the way Bradley refers to his wife. Whenever it came up, he always emphasized "I CHOSE that woman." What do you think he meant? What characteristics do you think he was looking for? Any opinions on his last words, and the Bradleys' relationship over all? Selim actually said he liked his "mother", and had enjoyed living the little happy family charade. Bradley doesn't seem to have felt the same... any thoughts?
